November 6th ...

Who knew that November 6th would come to be a day full of memories for me?

Two years ago today I was living in central Illinois teaching 8th grade language arts and was actually in the middle of parent teacher conferences when I learned that my brother's first baby had arrived. It was a day full of celebration and joy and love...

Happy 2nd Birthday Braden! Your Aunt Krissy loves and misses you so!

One year ago today as my nephew celebrated his first birthday, and we were spending our first fall in lower Alabama. I think we were actually going to the National Peanut festival around this time. My belly was nice and round, and we were eagerly awaiting the arrival of our first baby...It was a time of change and love and eager anticipation.

(haha funny that I was wearing the same shirt :P)

Ten months ago today I woke up to learn that my baby had passed away in the early morning. I kissed her and held her little body for the last time. It was one of the worst and hardest days of my life.

Love and miss you always munchkin.

And today... ten months after saying goodbye to Hailey, we are at Ft. Campbell and waiting to hear back on the offer we put in on a house  in Tennessee. It's been a day full of excitement and nervousness and anticipation. Here's a preview of our possible new house, God-willing...

Just looking back on today and what it means for me and my life shows me how life is ever changing, is quite the roller coaster, and I never know what to expect even when I'm expecting something... all I've learned is to hold on to God as the world and time and the events of life whirl by around me...

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8
